Springfield First Church of the Nazarene Podcast

As we were horrifically reminded this week, a chance encounter with the wrong person leads to death. But a divine encounter with Jesus of Nazareth brings miracles and life.

We read in the Gospel accounts of how the heart of Jesus not only went out to those who were in need of a miracle, but how His heart still goes out to those in need even today.

It is truly remarkable what can happen when Jesus shows up, both in Biblical times as well as today, and accomplishes exactly what we need that only He can bring to pass.

As we anticipate the season of Advent 2012, we will look at several of the miracles of Jesus, because miracles were not just for Biblical times, they are for today!

Guest Speaker – Julie O'Hara

If the leadership of Christ in our life is determined by our obedient and faithful followership, we can confidently call others to follow us.

In our innate desire to be led and guided by someone who knows where they are leading us, we can trust Jesus who will gently lead us with sacrificial courage.

In a political climate with heated and opinionated debates about who our national leader should be, we affirm that only the Lord is our trustworthy leader/shepherd.

We conclude this series by talking about the significance of being dressed in Christ Jesus and how when we find our life in Him, His life is found in us.

Our sin and shame reveals our utter nakedness and vulnerabilities before God and others. God’s grace covers our inequities that we might find redemption in Christ.
